Keep an eye on the bucks all winter all the way up the point when they drop, then go walk the area where they were when they dropped. Should work. Another possible problem you might be having is that other people are getting in there before you on horses and sleds and cleaning all the easy to find sheds before you get there.

depending no where u hunt in michigan, if u r in the UP, then the deer might be in their winter yards when they drop their antlers, and they wont be dispersed through the entire woods like they might be in an area w/o such severe winters where the deer dont yard up.

I find many each year,,, I look to bedding areas and my special spots are little but steep ravines/trenches and fences, places where they may jump and jar their head a little...I am not sure if it is coincidence or theres something to it, but thats where I find most of mine...

Hey cowboy4513
I just noticed a couple of things : first is you just joined the forums and second in a earler post you said that your in southeast lower Michigan.
Well let me welcome you to the forums and tell me where about in southeast lower Michigan are you.
I'm in Washtenaw County but I hunt between Chelsea and Stockbridge off of 52.
